Floodplain zoning bill faces fierce political battle in Pennsylvania
The floodplain control proposal aims to curb development in flood prone areas by requiring municipalities to pass floodplain zoning ordinances. If absent, the state could designate counties to enforce restrictions or take over administration. The bill bars eminent domain, excludes private water bodies under five acres, and imposes up to 10,000 dollars plus 500 dollars daily penalties for non compliance. Local developers oppose, citing loss of zoning authority and broad state power. Community affairs and environmental resources departments would assist and oversee enforcement.
